Some people are saying shallow things or ruins of this movie. Well, I digress. It's a little dragged out at first, it's true. But understand, we are facing a great production. The settings are beautiful, the costumes are stunningly beautiful, the colors... everything enraptures you, captivates you. Having not read the 1920s book the movie was based on, I didn't know what to expect. At the beginning of the interaction between Connie and Oliver, I thought it was going to be just sex. A repressed hard-on with a dose of melancholy from both of them. Didn't even get eaten. But what a surprise for me when, from that simple encounter, a deep connection developed between them (in representation of Connie's social relationships with friends, family, which are so "progressive" while hypocritical and elitist). Common literary tastes, passion for the simple and beautiful things in nature, political opinions that complement each other, as equals. The many sex scenes are the part where all of their previous suffering spills out. And they deserve it! They deserve to be happy in scenes like those, with pleasure, with freedom, as they say. And they never disrespect each other, they are always companions, that's the most important thing.
So don't watch with a moralistic head of someone who can't stand the sight of pubic hair or a woman making fun of a man who really cares if she was satisfied with his performance. They watch with the open heart of someone who can endure moments of comfortable silence between those who love each other, without the obligation to say anything. Everything that needs to be said is in the hearts of both and above all, in the eyes.
To the (false) moralists on duty and to those who are looking for action movies like Fast and Furious, avoid watching this drama, as they will get bored and inevitably come here to write nonsense, because the level here is sinister.
